The kit is a great place to start for tuners that want an excellent shifting experience at an affordable price. We've coupled our our compliance reducing shifter base bushings with our innovative spherical shifter cable bushings and timeless ESCO stainless steel core, insulated knob. If you like a very stiff centering action, you can add our upgraded transmission select springs for a small additional fee. Please note that while this kit is compatible with the Si and base model civics, the optional transmission springs are compatible with the Si only. Do not purchase the optional springs if you are planning to install this kit on a base model.

About the ACUITY Shifter Base Bushings for the 2012-2015 Honda Civic

The OEM base bushings on most Hondas and Acuras are made from highly compliant rubber. Thanks to leverage, the small amount of compliance the rubber adds equates to a very noticable "spongy" feeling in the shift knob during shifts. This bushing kit replaces the OEM rubber bushings with rigid 6061-T651 aluminum making for a much more decisive shift, even with a stock shifter. As an added touch, the bushings are coated in a purple Type 2 anodized finished, laser etched, and paired with class 12.9 flat-head mounting bolts.

About the ACUITY Shifter Cable Bushings for the 2012-2015 Honda Civic

Years of experience have taught the engineers at ACUITY that there are many elements to a refined, responsive shift. Compliance from flimsy components in the shift linkage leave the driver feeling detached from the transmission. ACUITY combats this by replacing the OEM rubber bushings with much stiffer Acetal and 6061-T6 Aluminum. A large-diameter, custom spherical bearing minimizes long-term wear and tear while eliminating the binding that is caused by most aftermarket solid shifter cable bushings. Loose fitting components also contribute to a poor shifting feel. That's why ACUITY uses integral o-rings on the outside of each bushing to provide a perfect fit with your OEM cables. Tested on street cars, track cars, and ACUITY's unreasonably violent shifter testing machine, these bushings are designed to be robust and proven to last. Each bushing kit is laser etched with a unique serial number and includes stainless steel hardware to help prevent long-term corrosion, keeping your bushings looking great even longer. And if all of that isn't impressive enough, the bushings are over 20% lighter than their OEM counterparts, weighing in at only 48 grams (with hardware).

About the ACUITY ESCO Shift Knob for the 2012-2015 Honda Civic

Heavy shift knobs have long been regarded as a way to improve shifter feel by many tuners. The truth is, a heavy knob simply hides slop in a worn or flawed shifter and shift linkage. ACUITY designed the ESCO with the hopes of providing a more refined shift that makes the driver feel more connected to the transmission, and ultimately the car. This was done by use of a barrel-shaped acetal outer shell and a large, stainless steel threaded core. This gives the knob a mid-weight at around 172g...about the same as an aluminum knob of a similar size. The difference between the ESCO and an aluminum knob becomes most apparent on hot summer days. The ESCO knob remains cool tot he touch on days when an aluminum knob would be scolding hot. To top it all off, ACUITY has added epoxy filled lettering to the top of the knob and an engraved logo at the knob's base. The finished appearance is simply classic, showing obvious inspiration from supercars of years gone by. For the best shifting experience, pair your ESCO knob with ACUITY's shifter linkage bushings and/or performance shifter.

About the (Optional) ACUITY Transmission Select Spring Upgrade for the 2012-2015 Honda Civic

Honda officially calls these the "First-2nd Select Spring" and "Fifth-Sixth Select Spring." They are the parts in your transmission that are (partially) responsible for your shifter centering itself when in neutral. By increasing the rate and preload of these springs, it's possible to realize a more decisive centering action for a sportier shift. ACUITY's K-Series Transmission Performance Spring Upgrade uses thicker wire and additional preload to provide a very satisfying, quick centering motion. This mod is particularly attractive because it provides such a noticeable change at a rather low price. If you believe you'd like a much stiffer centering action for your shifter, these may be for you. If you prefer easy left/right motion without much stiffness, we recommend you try our short shifter without these springs before deciding if you want them.

Customer Reviews

I heard a lot about Acuity since I've bought my 9th Gen, especially their performance short shifter. Noticing the finish on the OEM boot collar flaking away was when I knew it was time to upgrade some stuff. I decided to go with the stage 1 shift kit for the simple purpose that it's my daily driver; I wanted to improve shifting without going extreme. This kit made a big difference with how the car shifts. It eliminated the 'mush' when going into gear and overall just feels more precise and engages gears with confidence. This is the kit for your Si if you're just wanting to improve shift feel without breaking the bank.

Best bang for your buck

Well after driving the car for about a month the shifter and bushings really makes a difference the way the shifter feels around your hand no more sloppy feel from the OEM bushings even though my stock bushings were in good condition this kit still made a good difference I highly recommend just get it all and save yourself some money.
